Subway Modernisation Template Title Expert Ferry Group – Modal Integration March 2016 Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Ferries – Former SRC Area Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Issues and Problems • Rail: Part of bigger network – penalty regime – interface with numerous other services at key junctions etc. – difficult to wait for delayed ferries • Buses: Subject to congestion incidents delays etc. no easy or particularly well defined line of communication with ferries (although unofficial local arrangements will apply in some locations) • Ferries: Weather – tides, swell, operational issues, technical issues, worker time directive issue as regards operated day/week? Difficult to add or amend sailings or to delay them if connecting services are substantially late? • Walking: Some ferry locations are remote (Fishnish – Claonaig ?) and walking is an option albeit distances are greater than ideal • Cycling: Not such an issue except for alleged overcrowding on some services (Arran/Cumbrae?) – although ferry routes are sometimes adjacent to or form part of the National Cycle Network Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk SRC Area - Terminal by Terminal (1) Public Transport Integration – Ferry + All other modes – Strathclyde (ex Regional Council) Area Renfrew/Yoker bus (rail) walk cycle primarily bus – limited specific use - adjacent Gourock bus rail walk cycle bus/rail interchange – direct modal links adjacent Kilcreggan bus walk cycle bus connection – adjacent - not always in both directions McInroy’s Point bus walk cycle bus connection – terminus for local services adjacent Wemyss Bay bus rail walk cycle bus and rail adjacent Largs bus rail walk cycle bus and rail adjacent Cumbrae Slip bus walk cycle direct bus connections Ardrossan bus rail walk cycle rail and bus adjacent Brodick bus walk cycle direct bus connections Lochranza bus walk cycle bus connections – sub-optimal A/B prioritised Troon bus (rail) walk cycle less well connected Dunoon/HQ bus walk cycle direct bus connections to hinterland Rothesay bus walk cycle bus service operates on Bute but is not specific to ferry Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk SPT Area - Terminal by Terminal (2) Public Transport Integration – Ferry + All other modes – Strathclyde (ex Regional Council) Area Rhubodach/Colintraive bus walk cycle limited through bus service Claonaig bus walk cycle some bus services Cambeltown bus walk cycle ferry too late (or Sunday) for most bus connections Portavadie/Tarbetr bus walk cycle some bus connections (Tarbert poor for Citylink) Kennacraig/Islay bus walk cycle direct bus connections for most services (PE poor) Tayinloan/Gigha bus walk cycle bus to road end at Tayinloan Islay/Jura bus walk cycle bus connected in the main Oban/Mull/Coll/Tiree/Colonsay/Lismore (Fishnish/Lochaline+Tobermory/Kilchoan) bus walk cycle (rail - Oban) relatively good rail and bus connections at Oban (although Oban is very often the destination – so less importance for local/island users potentially) mainly local buses at most destinations Fionnphort/Iona bus walk cycle (no car) bus walk cycle to Fionnphort – walking cycling and some mini-bus on Iona Kerrera bus walk cycle (no car) limited bus to slip on mainland – walk on Kerrera Seil Easdale Luing etc. bus walk cycle some bus connections to/from mainland Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Connecting service - function It is perhaps worth considering what the primary function of bus services on islands/peninsula is: • Resident led? – e.g. Bute – centred on Rothesay, emphasis on school access for children as well as access to facilities in Rothesay from further afield. • Visitor led? – e.g. Craignure-Fionnphort/Tobermory - low island population on route but high visitor demand for access to Iona/Mull • Both? e.g. – Cumbrae/Cowal • Neither – low level of potential usage therefore low level of service e.g. Rhubodach • Is greater marketing of the journey possibilities needed – do the different modes overly consider the connections when operating their services or are they purely concerned with their own leg of the journey? Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Example Connected journeys: • Traditional train and bus meets ferry at ferry port – e.g. Wemyss Bay, Oban, Ardrossan • Are connected journeys realistic? Are connecting services strategic or do they serve a more local function? E.g. It is possible to undertake a Glasgow-Islay public transport journey via Ardrossan-Brodick- Lochranza-Claonaig-and Kennacraig to Islay – it connects effectively but is more designed to meet local needs. The connecting bus from Glasgow-Kennacraig is both local and strategic and serves both an urban and rural, internal and external market. • Similarly Rothesay-Portavadie/Tarbert • Local needs as against occasional tourist traffic – see previous • More radical solution to put the “Bus on boat” and operate as a through service – e.g. Glasgow-Dunoon (via MP and HQ) or this a limited route specific option? Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Interchange I Largs Cumbrae Slip Millport Dunoon Wemyss Bay Oban Oban Oban Kennacraig Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Interchange II Claonaig Brodick Ardrossan Gourock Gourock Bus on boat - Cowal Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Ferry Arran as an example: • Large island but small resident population greatly enhanced by summer visitors – either as day trippers or as holiday-makers – some large but relatively scattered communities – Brodick-Lamlash-Whiting Bay – also Corrie Lochranza and Blackwaterfoot • Primary purpose of bus services is for school trips to/from High School in Lamlash – secondary purpose to enable residents access facilities based mainly at Brodick or Lamlash – tertiary purpose to enable visitor access to all areas of the island from ferry ports at Brodick (and to a lesser degree at Lochranza). • All the above purposes are underpinned by the need to sustain the economic viability of the island • Impact of RET on bus passenger numbers has been negative (but only one full year of figures available (and weather was poor) Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Ferry Is Arran atypical? • Probably – comparatively well off, adjacent to a very large mainland population, large traditional market • Ageing population and relative low cost to access facilities on the mainland • A good proportion of visitors tend to partake of activities such as hill walking and cycling which are not, in the main, public transport dependant • What implications of this for public transport? Ferry patronage and service level is growing proportionately – however bus services on the island are extremely expensive to provide - none are commercial (save some summer tourist trips to Brodick Castle) – and patronage is in decline (despite RET encouraging more foot passengers to the island Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Ferry Implications for other islands • All islands differ so no “one size fits all” and it could be argued that access to ferry ports on the mainland are possibly more important • Are traditional interchange links and ports therefore now obsolete? The examples of remote ferry locations being developed would indicate that locations such as Kennacraig, Cumbrae Slip, McInroy’s Point, Portavadie, Fishnish, Ardmhor, and Sconser have all provided a successful level and quality of service whilst being remote from the main centres of population. With proper onward connection by (almost exclusively) bus, passengers wishing to make centre-to-centre journeys can still do so – very often with proportional time savings. Strathclyde Partnership for Transport Strathclyde Partnership for Transport www.spt.co.uk Issues - Discussion • Demand • Improve Accessibility and Patronage • Oban as a hub • Relationship to local town • Through and/or smart ticketing • Economic impact • Environmental and Social benefits • Are there other options that might not have been considered and which could have some viability? Does disparate nature of public transport networks and modal operation militate against proper interchange opportunities?

  • Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary
    Corranbuie & Skipness Land Management Plan Summary Corranbuie & Skipness LMP was approved on 30-1-12017 and runs for 10 years. Vision Corranbuie and Skipness are two adjoining forests, see map 1 Location, lying immediately to the south of the village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne, linked by open hill land rising to over 350m at the highest point. Loch Fyne forms the majority of the eastern boundary while the western area is adjacent to elevated heath and private forestry plantations. Tarbert and Skipness are the closest settlements and the nearest transport link is the A83T which links Tarbert with Campbeltown. Ferry routes run close by from Tarbert to Portavadie, Claonaig to Arran and Kennacraig to Islay. Tarbert is an important tourist hub, with access provision into the forest from the village. The Kintyre Way runs through the forest. The eastern coastal strip is noted for its designated Atlantic oakwoods. The total combined management area is 2996.8ha. The primary objectives for the plan area are • Economic and sustainable timber production, including windblow clearance. • PAWS restoration. • Development of habitat networks. • Landscape improvement. • Enhancement and protection of Tarbert to Skipness Coast SSSI and Tarbert Woods SAC. • Construction of new forest roads. • Enhancement of the Kintyre Way. • Protection and enhancement water features and water supplies. • Delivery of Deep Peat policy outcomes • Contribution to renewables targets through hydro-scheme construction. • Protection and enhancement of cultural heritage assets. • To

  • Scottish Ferries Review Public Consultation 2010 Questionnaire
    Scottish Ferries Review Public Consultation 2010 Questionnaire Preliminary Question We know that different communities across Scotland often view their ferry services very differently, sometimes for reasons which are specific to the local area. If you would like to enter your postcode in the box below, that will help us to make the best use of the information you provide to us in this questionnaire. Submission by David MacBrayne Limited Consultation Question 1 Do you agree that a change is required, to improve consistency in provision and secure funding for the future? Yes No Response: YES - conditional Comments: A change is required to the funding mechanism because it is apparent that the government and local authorities cannot, or will not, fund the capital improvements that are now urgently required to support an efficient service. Capital investments have generally long lead-times and many assets are already well beyond effective use and are impediments to provision of sustainable lifeline service and plain good value for money. The Caledonian Maritime Assets Limited (CMAL) „Vessels‟ report indicated that the average age of the Scottish Ferry fleet is 19 years – for the largest fleet (the CMAL/CalMac vessels) Graph 1 illustrates how this has fluctuated over the last 35 or so years. With MV Finlaggan the only addition to the fleet in 2011 and assuming that 2013 is the earliest that any additional vessels could be procured by, the average age of the fleet will have increased to 22 years by 2013 – double that of 1980. (The graph assumes that no disposals will take place up to 2013.) 2 Graph 1: Average vessel age 1974 to 2013 – CalMac/CMAL fleet Average age of vessels - CalMac/CMAL 1974 to 2013 24 22 20 18 16 14 Average age (years) age Average 12 10 1976 1978 1980 1984 1986 1988 1992 1994 1996 2000 2002 2008 2010 1974 1982 1990 1998 2004 2006 2012 Year In tandem with the increasing fleet age, the rate of bringing new vessels into service has been reducing over time with a greater time period evident between commissions.
